As you generally put Turtle Wax on paintwork and ACF50 is designed to stop corrosion I think you should be fine.

Wax/polish once applied protects paintwork anyway.

If you turtle waxed it before the ACF50 can see no problem, but is using afterwards don't see how you wouldn't be wiping it out.

ACF50 won't harm the paint chives but you are meant to use a PTFE wax on the tank/fairings.

Edit: It doesn't actually mention the tank.

Yeah, I was thinking that myself. But I suppose it depends if your tank is chipped/scratched.

I only use ACF50 on areas of the bike susceptible to corrosion - or areas unpainted, etc.

Waxing shouldn't be a regular part of a cleaning routine - if applied correctly (and a final finish), it should last fine for every 6 months or so.

If you're wanting to wax your tank/bodywork - clean and prepare the paintwork of all dirty/residue/contaminants first.
